"Melbourne’s Proud Mary Coffee runs popular brunch spot Proud Mary Cafe (with branches in Portland, Oregon, and Austin), but it’s this intimate shop and tasting room in a Collingwood warehouse where the brand focuses entirely on coffee. Sit down for a flight of single-origin espressos or try the super-smooth cold brew on tap. It’s a welcoming space, with free community cupping events held every week. Just don’t ask for cream in your coffee, since — as a barista might let you know — no milk is kept on the premises. Stock up on freshly roasted beans before leaving." - Audrey Bourget, Sharlee Gibb
